🎨 Creative – I love finding solutions; there’s often more possible than you think at first.
😄 Enthusiastic – When I commit to something, I go all in.
🤝 People-oriented – I truly believe we can achieve more together than alone.
🌱 Curious & eager to Learn – I am always exploring, discovering and chasing the next adventure.

I started my career in lighting, video and audio engineering, where I quickly learned how deeply communication and technology are intertwined. Solid communication and strong collaboration make all the difference, not just in results, but also in joy at work.

Since 2012, I have been teaching communication and for the past five years I train teams and leaders to use communication as a tool to connect with each other and with (internal) clients. Since 2023 I started my own company: We Just Simplify.
I love helping BI teams close the gap between business and IT. It makes the work faster, smoother, and simply more fun. And the knowledge I gain along the way? I am passionate about sharing it with the world.

Beyond work, I love to travel and meet inspiring people. I am working towards combining my love for storytelling and human connection by creating documentaries that highlight positive, world-changing initiatives; projects that deserve a spotlight in a world often dominated by negative headlines.

My mission is simple: to create space where everyone can be fully themselves, and where people are seen and heard without judgment.

Nigel Sinclair began his journey in England, where studying at Monkton Combe sparked a strong interest in history and the arts under the guidance of teachers like Richard Blake. After completing a degree in law and economics at Cambridge in 1969, he continued his studies at the Institute of Criminology before joining Denton, Hall & Burgin.

Projects such as Hamlet, Braveheart, 1492, and Green Card showed how ambitious productions could thrive outside the traditional studio system.

In 1996, he transitioned from law to producing, co-founding Intermedia Films and producing titles like Sliding Doors, Hilary and Jackie, The Wedding Planner, The Quiet American, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, and Iris. After taking the company public in 2000, he co-founded Spitfire Pictures in 2003, producing music documentaries such as Masked and Anonymous, Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who, and No Direction Home: Bob Dylan.
